About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!

I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!

Dari was phenomenal with our fellas. She spent the holidays with them, loving them and caring for them while we were out of town. She is such an animal lover and genuinely cares for the well being of our fur babies. I can’t wait to hire her again. The fellas say thank you Aunt Dari!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I've volunteered at animal shelters, house sat retired, senior K-9s, and also helped exercise and house sit pets for friends and family regularly. Happy to help with walks, exercise, check-ins, and care. I'm currently attending school at Ringling College, but I am mostly available over the summer and after classes/weekends once the fall semester starts! I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention like they’re my own. During walks and check-ins, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and cared for while sticking closely to your instructions and routines.

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. This summer I will be in a production at the Asolo Repertory Theatre but before that I am looking to spend as much time with pups as I can. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I’ve had dogs since 2008, and will never live another day of my life without one. I’ve got three golden retrievers at the moment - two from a breeder and one we adopted from Evergreen Golden Retriever Rescue. Every piece of clothing I own is covered in fur 😆 I work from home most days, with occasional appointments which I typically schedule well in advance. Up early for walks each morning before 7:00, and in bed early (usually by 9:30 or so) I have a fenced yard with two separate play areas. Our three golden retrievers (10, 7, and 2) will make great company for yours, regardless of energy level. Resting in front of our warm fireplace, or cuddling in our laps on our couches, your dogs will be part of our loving family while they’re here!

I am super happy to have found her on Rover; she is communicative, responsible, and loving with my pets. She stayed in contact and answered every question I had about them. I will definitely hire her again—I hope she never leaves Rover! I recommend her 100%.

Brooke was the best!! You can tell she really loves and knows about animals. We had to leave for over two weeks and im so happy we found her because it made me less anxious knowing my cats were being so well taken care of. They have special diets and Brooke adapted easily to their automatic food bowls and always made sure they ate before she left. Would definitely work with her again!

Caroline was the best cat sitter for our elderly cat!! She was so responsive, kind, and sent constant updates throughout the day. I could tell from the photos that our cat, who is normally pretty shy, was super thrilled to see her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
